Bar Number Offset

[Bob Muso]

Can someone with SD3 just check if you can add -1 to the start of the bar numbers
so you have 2 bars before start @ bar 1 : [-1]—-[0]—-[1]—-[2]—-[3]—-[4]……
If your DAW has a bar offset of 2 for count-ins SD3 needs to have the same offset so the bar numbers are in sync.

Currently the only options to are to start with 0 or 1, but I’ll take a note of your idea. Thanks for the feedback!

Why is this still a thing? Such a basic concept. I keep coming back to it as I always use an offset in my DAW and yeah, would be nice if the bar numbers in EZKeys would match up to the bar numbers in my DAW  :-

I agree with Le E. This issue has come up a number of times for me. Studio One lets me off-set bar numbers for convenience in count-ins and intros. It would be nice if Toontrack products did the same. If this has been fixed, please send a link to where this issue has been addressed. Thanks.

Would love to see this custom offset implemented, I really do put more than one extra bar on the left. I usually start at -2 or -1. Because of this limitation, I now have to start all my projects at 0 or work with Superior Drummer as is, and subtract the offset myself.
